The Lubar Family Donor Lounge

In addition to the $1 million recently raised at Milwaukee Rep’s Curtain Call Ball, the Campaign received a $1.55 million gift from the Lubar Family to name The Lubar Family Donor Lounge. The Donor Lounge will be located on the top floor of the Associated Bank Theater Center accessible by patrons visiting all three theater venues – a feature we currently do not have. This stunning new space will have the capacity to serve 125 people with private restrooms, coat check and a full-service bar.

“The Lubar family has proudly supported Milwaukee Rep for decades because we see the theater as a critical piece of the cultural fabric of the city,” said Joan Lubar. “A significant investment in Milwaukee Rep’s facilities is needed for the safety of the building for staff and patrons, and to remain competitive and continue its growth and to lead as a top-tier theater with a worldclass venue.”

The Lubar Family Donor Lounge will also be able to serve as an event space with private dinners or cocktail parties on non-performance nights as well as day time conference/ workshop sessions with multimedia capabilities.
